2017-2018 Breakout Sleeper picks.

[Godin]

No Bjorkstrand mention?

He'll break out for sure.

Agreed.

[StuntMan12]

anyone think Fabbri will have a break out year?

[Bazz]

This is my second year in a row saying Victor Rask
Shea Theodore becomes relevant
Schmaltz if he's top 6
Strome if he's shotgun to Connor
Bo Horvat
Mika Zibby top 60 pt 800 FOW

[Jager's Mullet]

I hope so. Schenn does limit his upside but he looked very good with tank before the knee injury

[Mr. Guru]

Fabri was on pace for around 45 points this year.

I think we're a year away from him taking the next step.

In a year Fabri becomes an RFA and St.Louis will gain $7 from Stastny coming off the books.

[Poutine]

I expect a huge breakout from Noah Hanifin.

I want to believe this so badly because I've held onto him as my one 'long-term project' roster slot (we have no farm team) and now am stubbornly holding onto him.

What makes you think he will have a huge breakout?

[CHunter]

Hertl
Dadonov
Shipachev
McAvoy
Chabot
Reinhart
Bennett

Just a few from the top of my head;

MacKinnon - he and Rantanen will form a nice tandem.
Rantanen - he and MacKinnon will form a nice tandem. This kid is seriously skilled.
Drouin - is ten points more than last year a breakout?
Elias Lindholm - I think high 50's is a reasonable target.
Burakovsky - the opportunity is there. The skill is there. Should translate to a big year.
Connor - he'll replace Perreault in the top 6 and compliment Wheeler and Little perfectly. He absolutely dominated the AHL is the second half last year.
Vrana - not overly confident on this one. Probably next year, but a decent bet to make his mark as early as this season.
Theodore - he'll run the Vegas powerplay and there's enough skill and finish on the first unit to bring him to 40 points
Labanc - this is my real sleeper breakout candidate. He'll slide under the radar and will be had for dirt cheap in almost all pools.

Also think Compher deserves a mention.

29 points from a dman as a sophomore. Has loads of talent, and has the ability to log way more minutes than he did last year. Also, really came on strong at the end of last season. I think it continues into this season.

[Mr. Guru]

Hanifin is a stud. But you have Faulk who will still be getting more prime offensive minutes next year, I would think.

[pbj29]

Bjorkstrand
Perlini
Zacha
Rantanen
Schmaltz

[Jerrodedson99]

Rantanen.

I think Hanifin will begin to eat into those minutes starting this season.

And don't underrate Slavin either. He took a BIG step last year and has the trust of the coach.
